John Mulaney Says ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic Deserves a Spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

John Mulaney feels it's high time that 'Weird Al' Yankovic receives the recognition he's due with an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Speaking to Rolling Stone recently, Mulaney – himself a diehard fan of the Rock Hall – reflected on this year’s list of inductees, which includes the likes of The White Stripes, Outkast, Cyndi Lauper, and Soundgarden, but didn’t include the likes of Phish, who won’t be inducted this year despite winning the fan vote. When speaking of Chubby Checker, Mulaney reflected on the impact that he had upon the world of novelty music, specifically thanks to the likes of his debut single “The Class,” which peaked at No. Given that this year will indeed see the late Zevon inducted into the Rock Hall, it appears that Mulaney and the legion of Yankovic’s fans might just need to sit tight.
